Key result
Preventive Behavior Model variables explain up to ~66% of the variance in cardiovascular risk factors.
Why the study?
The Preventive Behavior Model was tested and expanded to explore how perceived barriers, benefits, health value orientations, and health care activities influence physiological outcomes.
Does the Preventive Behavior Model predict physiological outcomes like cholesterol and blood pressure in subjects from a health screening program?
Observational (n=41)
Does the Preventive Behavior Model predict physiological outcomes like cholesterol and blood pressure in subjects from a health screening program?
The Preventive Behavior Model can explain a significant portion of the variance in cardiovascular risk factors such as cholesterol and blood pressure, providing insights into factors influencing risk factor reduction.

Small observational models should not guide clinical decisions; leaves open the expanded Preventive Behavior Model's role in cardiovascular risk prediction.
The Preventive Behavior Model was tested and expanded to explore the influence of perceived barriers, benefits, health value orientations, and certain health care activities on physiological outcomes. Data from 41 subjects from a health screening program were analyzed. Four empirical models resulted, explaining 39%, 45%, 66%, and 47% of the variance in cholesterol, high density lipoprotein, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure, respectively. Significant variables in the four models provide important clues for understanding factors that influence physiological outcomes of risk factor reduction.

Murdaugh et al. (1987) reported an observational. Preventive Behavior Model variables (perceived barriers, benefits, health value orientations, health care activities) was evaluated on Variance in cholesterol, high density lipoprotein, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure. Preventive Behavior Model variables explained 39%, 45%, 66%, and 47% of the variance in cholesterol, high density lipoprotein, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure, respectively.
